Well, I guess I might have to do some thinking and not just about the 'guy roommate' thing. Katie (KatieDidNot) has brought up another issue and that is the idea of living with anyone else. The thing is I'm a single woman who owns a home with a mortgage in New Hampshire, one that I could never sell or be forced to rent and miss out on the beautiful summers on the lake - and forget my kids...who have their eyes on it. They'd go ballistic on me if I dared to sell it - So, buying another place to support would be a major strain. Renting a place by myself is actually more expensive than buying one. I figured my choices were limited, therefore, if I want to escape the miserably cold and snow covered winters here, I think a roommate is the only viable option. Maybe it's in the choosing that I can find a good fit. I think I'll look on line for the questions I should be asking potential roommates. I would think there must be some sort of science to it.
In the meantime, I'm hoping Villages who have actually taken this leap of faith and still have their reputation in tact, will come across this thread and offer their advice.
